Lithuania's Seimas Demands Prime Minister's Resignation Over Plagiarism in His Thesis Ruling coalition member Dainius Gaijauskas has called on Prime Minister Sinkevičius to resign after plagiarism was discovered in his doctoral thesis. According to him, society should trust the government, and such scandals do not add trust. The prime minister himself admitted the violations of the quotation, but refused to leave. He promises to prepare corrections and insists that the scientific value of the work is preserved.
